Ayuhmann Khurrana's belated birthday wishes for Surekha Sikri
While penning the wishes on his Instagram story, the actor introduced the actress to his fans and followers who could not recognize her by seeing the young looks. Article 15 actor wrote that the legendary actress played the role of his grandmother in Badhai Ho and also apologized that it was her birthday on July 23 and he missed it. At last, he wrote, “Belated wishes.”
